The Secret 84 with Marker Squire 11 Bindings is an accessible all-mountain setup designed for intermediate and advanced skiers aiming to expand their skills beyond the trail. With less metal compared to its wider counterparts, the 84 provides a friendly and versatile feel across various conditions and terrains. It offers a high performance ceiling that supports progression without being overly demanding. We paired the 84 with the Marker Squire 11 because of the Squire’s high performance and dependability for lighter weight all mountain and freeride skiers. With a light weight construction and a safe, reliable release, the Squire 11 is a go to choice to keep performance high and weight low.

Why we like it:

The Secret 84 is appealing to a broad range of skiers, satisfying the needs of intermediates looking to refine their skills and advanced skiers seeking a capable all-mountain ski that remains approachable.

Who it's for:

This ski is perfect for intermediate skiers who want to advance and explore different areas of the mountain, as well as advanced skiers who prefer a ski with a more accessible performance range.

Highlights:

The Secret 84 incorporates much of the same construction technology as its wider siblings, including Volkl’s Multilayer Woodcore and Tailored Carbon Tips. The key difference is its Fiberglass Frame, which replaces Titanal to reduce weight and enhance the ski's energetic, poppy feel. Additionally, Volkl’s 3D Radius technology provides an intuitive feel, allowing skiers to vary their turn shapes effortlessly for maximum versatility. Marker’s Triple Pivot Light 2 Toe and Hollow Linkage Heel systems work in tandem to provide powerful energy transmission to the ski, allowing for maximum edge grip and control of the ski. Lighter weight skiers can rest easy knowing the Squire 11 will be easier than ever to step into thanks to a re-designed heel piece. Perhaps the most underappreciated feature of the Squire 11 is the anti-ice rail, which sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape the sole of your boots clean before stepping in.

Things to consider:

The Secret 84 straddles the line between frontside and all-mountain skis. If your primary focus is high-performance frontside carving, other options may be more suitable. Conversely, for those who plan to spend most of their time off-piste, consider a wider all-mountain ski for soft snow performance.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
